@starhawk, try Menu>System>Control Panel>Desktop>Change Desktop Environment>Netbook Launcher;
to get what jemimah was illustrating in screen2. I'm not sure whether it makes much additional difference changing the Windows Manager (Flwm, Icewm and OpenBox included as standard) - but certainly plenty of options are there to play with. Absolutely fangs on my '99 vintage Portege 3480ct with 196Mb RAM, but a new 7200rpm 160GB HD certainly helps.

BTW, I wish you were in the States -- I've been looking for a Portege of that model or similar, and I can't find one here. Unfortunately, shipping from Australia is likely to be a little outside my price range (I also suspect that you wouldn't want to part with it, either!)._________________

you don't know how many people have seen it working with Puppy and made me an offer for it, on the spot!

No, I'm afraid it's now something of a family heirloom, as it was my stepmums business machine and went around the world twice with her, back in the day. Ironically for you- it was custom-built in Canada! Semi-ruggardised, magnesium alloy case etc etc it literally cost only AU$15 for the cards to enable wifi and USB2+firewire. (A little cumbersome, but portable steampunk is the new black, apparently.) It also has proved useful as an emergency entertainment system for the kids. Jemimah's careful selection of non-violent, puzzle-type games in Fluppy is especially appreciated (by us parents)!

I really should get around to you-tubing it - gotta install Catdude's graphical boot to really show it off with bootup times etc. Broad mix of puplets to showcase Puppy Linux/Windows managers... At the moment, it runs MIJINpup511, ZenPup5 (an early dpup - I think it was cagwait's project), TEENpup2010mini, MacPup520, QuirkNOP-120, Simplicity10:10 (based on stu90's 5x D-lite), and of course, Fluppy 013. You can bet I'll be trying to shoe-horn Saluki into it!

I stumbled across a way to get fluppy 013 to run on my
IBM thinkcenter M52 computer which has an intel graphics chip.

I previously reported that Fluppy 012 will work on this model but
Fluppy 013 won't.

By accident I booted up the computer with a CD with
Fluppy 013 burnt on it. To my amazement it worked!!

The reason is simple. I had previously installed Fluppy 012
on the computer so a pupsave file was available for Fluppy 013
to find. This pupsave file has the 'intel' driver inside it.
It took a couple of minutes to load the pupsave file
because it has installed applications in it,
but it was successful and that's what counts.

I found a small problem with Parole. While playing videos the screen goes dark in a few minutes and you have to move the mouse or to hit keyboard button to make it appear again. Parole has checked box Disable screen saver but it does not help.

Here is a quick solution for this. Just before playing videos with parole type in console:
